My steps faltered when I left the bedroom the next morning.

It was still early, the sun hadn’t even risen, but Conor was there, putting coffees and bags onto the kitchen counter. Ones that looked similar to what Jess and Kieran had brought the day before.

He cleared his throat as he straightened. “I was gonna come wake you.”

His words from last night played in my mind again and again, filling me and leaving me more confused than ever.

I’d stayed pressed against the bedroom door last night, trying to choke back the overwhelming feelings from the day—God, the week—and trying to understand why it had hurt so damn bad to see Conor with Einstein. When he’d sided with her and asked me to leave.

It wasn’t as though I wanted to be in the room with people I didn’t know. I’d wanted answers from Conor.

And that was when I heard them . . . him and Einstein fighting about me.

“If I’ve put myself in this position, then you know it’s because she means something.”

Out of everything that had happened yesterday, that was the one thing I tried to hold tight to during the night. Everything else still felt like too much to sort through and deal with, and for some asinine reason, clinging to what he’d said helped me to keep the image of Conor and Einstein out of my head.

Walking out to see him talking with another woman who was beautiful in a wild, alluring kind of way that I could never compete with was shocking enough.

To find out who she was?

It didn’t matter that he had told me that she belonged to someone else, all I could think in that moment was what she had meant to him.

Still, he’d fought for me.

I grabbed the sides of my robe and wrapped them around myself, giving my hands something to do. “Were you . . .”

“Thought it would be better if we talked before Lexi woke up.”

I sucked in a stuttered breath and nodded, not knowing if I was ready for this but sure I wanted every answer he could give me.

He handed me one of the coffees and asked, “Why are you up so early?”

“Couldn’t sleep.” It was short and vague, but at least it was partially true.

“Me either. Jess dropped off food on her way to see Einstein.”

My brows lifted as I brought the cup to my lips. I made some sort of confirming sound in my throat as I passed by him to sit in the living room.

“That isn’t fair, and you know it,” he said once he was seated near me.

“What?”

“That look you kept giving me last night, the one you just gave me. Like her being here is a betrayal.”

I swallowed past the knot in my throat and pulled my knees to my chest.

“You know nothing ever happened with her. You already know there is no story to tell.”

“I know,” I said quickly, preventing him from continuing. “I know, and I know that it isn’t fair because you’ve had to listen to the stories I’ve told you.
